What is your prediction of the winner of the AO?

Who's going to win the Aussie? I gotta go with my boy Nadal. Federer will lose in the finals in 5.

I have Davy and Wawrinka doing well too. they both got great draws. Davy has the dream matchup with Verdasco. Murray v Sod is going to be a big match!

Get those brackets in everyone!!!

What a great comeback for Fish and Monfils! I can't believe Querrey lost too.

As much as I am on the Club Fed side, I am choosing to cheer for the Spanish Bull for AO this year. I look forward to see him winning the non-calendar grand slam, aka, the rafa slam. ;-) After that, it's back to cheer for the Fed again. ;-)

On the women's side, hard to say, so many possibilities. Won't mind seeing the Woz winning her first slam to solidify her #1 spot on the tour. Or to see Azarenka winning her first slam. ;-) But to be realistic, at this point, most likely it will be Cljisters or Henin taking the first slam of the year.

Current affair for the current round:

How far do you think Del Potro will go at the AO this year? He just wrapped up his first round match against Sela and most likely will be playing the Bag Man Baghdatis next.

Gulbis playing Becker now. Already down a set, though in tie-break. On serve in second set. I hope he can pull it through, but highly doubt that it'll happen.
